Listen to this article

Jeffrey Raniewicz appeals from a judgment entered after a jury convicted him of one count of possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), with intent to deliver, while possessing a dangerous weapon, and one count of felon in possession of a firearm. Raniewicz argues that: (1) the trial court committed error by failing to give one jury instruction and sua sponte adding a phrase to another instruction; (2) his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance; and (3) he is entitled to a new trial because his appellate rights cannot be fully exercised because the exhibits were destroyed prior to this appeal. Because Raniewicz’s eight-year fugitive status permits dismissal of this appeal as a sanction, we reject his arguments. This opinion will not be published.

Dist I, Milwaukee County, Schellinger, J., Per Curiam

Attorneys:
